For the first 3 weeks I will be tracking my progress and will adjust my diet at 12 weeks out. I am determined to do this as holistically as possible. Eating clean is not foreign to me (I have been eating this way for years now) but I have never done it with such rigid structure with an end result to look forward to……strutting my stuff in a 2 piece bikini while everyone is checking out my butt…..THAT is pressure at it’s best, lol! I have to train myself to think ‘eat that chocolate, Lori, and it’s gonna go straight to your a$$’. Some might say I’m talking to myself…..I like to say I’m ‘thinking’ to myself. That can’t be considered crazy, lol

DAY 3 (only 104 more to go, LOL)

1- 8:00am- Shake (Vega,300ml Almond Breeze and 1/2 cup frozen strawberries) +2 chromium capsules, 2 PGX capsules & Ionix Supreme (herbal vitamin/mineral supplement)

2- 11:45am-Shake (Whey meal replacement mixed with water)

3- 2:30pm- 1 cup eggwhites/salsa, 1/3 cup dry oatmeal cooked with 2Tbsp blueberries and cinnamon +2 PGX capsules

4- 5:30pm- 1 can tuna (120g)/2Tbsp salsa and raw veggies (1/2 yam, 1/2 sweet pepper) AND 1 Tbsp of almond butter +2 PGX capsules

5- 9:00pm- Protein pudding (hemp, Almond Breeze, couple frozen berries)…..makes thick ‘need a spoon’ shake

I plan to eat 6 meals spread out approximately every 3 hours. Being the weekend, my first meal was abit later than usual so there was only enough room for 5 meals today.

So, I have finally bit the bullet and am going to live one of my dreams by competing in a figure show this July. I have been pleasantly surprised by the motivation and support I have already received from friends and family. This is not going to be an easy road for me over the next 15 weeks but I am soooo ready for this journey. Prepping for a figure competition, although rewarding in the end, will probably be more painful than if I shot myself in the foot (kidding of course, but you get the idea, lol). These next 15 weeks will include strict nutrition (with no deviation other than a weekly cheat meal I am allowing for at least another month), faithful cardio (up to 2xday at some point), and focused strength training. 

As some of you know I am passionate about blending holistic nutrition/health with the fitness industry. What better way than to live my dream and experience it for myself. I am determined to remain true to myself by being as holistic as possible….not losing sight of why I chose to become a Registered Holistic Nutritionist BUT also knowing/realizing that what I do for the next 15 weeks is for an end result….one that will hopefully bring me home a trophy….and if it doesn’t THAT SUCKS!!!! Just kidding, I realize that it may take a few competitions to win and will continue to work harder each time.

Some of you have expressed your interest in following my journey towards a ripped body (hee hee) so I am more than happy to log my progress (twist my arm, lol…..are you kidding? I LOVE THIS STUFF). I feel blessed to have my bodyspace friends to share this journey with. Just as I hope my progress will motivate and encourage some of you…..I WILL be looking upto some of you as well that have experienced this journey. Better than knowledge…….is experience!

I will be taking weekly pictures to track my progress but I can’t promise that I will post them (we’ll see). Nothing like a good ‘ol saggy buttcheek between friends (just kidding…..no saggy buttcheeks here, lol). That reminds me though…….I need to go drink some of my 4L of water for the day….don’t ask how that reminded me…..it just DID.
